Wilderland has two websites, one always-on, higher resolution website that is heavier to run, and one experimental, situated site, that is solar powered, and in the Nephin Park
The solar site might not always be on or available, it also has other quirks, and will be slower. Adjust your expectactions for this Permacomputing + Small Web alternative.
This session demonstrates small-scale power generation systems, like solar-powered systems, and mini wind turbine systems, for domestic use.
We'll look at installed examples, identify the various components needed for such systems, and look at what sized systems we'd need for various uses.
All welcome.
Please note: this session is part of Colm's PhD research, and will involve the capturing of informal conversation. To participate in this session, you will be also asked to join in these discussions, to discuss your own experience of the subjects covered in the session. If you do not wish to participate in the research data collection, the practical content will be published on this website after the event.

A blend of the words permaculture and computing, permacomputing is a potential field of convergence between technology, cultural work, environmental research, and activism. In essence it aims to promote and experiment with a more sustainable relationship with computer and network technology. Find out more on our Permacomputing project page.
